Unfortunately time is against me, so here are the latest charts on the developing major storm which will become a major Nor’easter with high likelihood of bombogenesis off New England. Do watch this morning’s video for more of my thoughts. Latest GFS Another shot of bitter and unusual mid March cold hits in the storm’s […]
Following what appears to have been MAINLAND Spain’s warmest March day in history Saturday with 34.8C recorded at Alicante Airport, we go from summer straight back to winter with a significant change to much cooler and stormier. A lot of rain as well as inland heavy snow is expected across SE Spain over the next 36 hours. With a trough […]

In fact, it’s very real, a monster 966mb storm […]
While the Atlantic trough remains strong and firmly anchored from Greenland down into the North Atlantic, throwing lows towards Iceland and Scotland, the Azores high is also strengthening and as a direct result it’s warmed to early summer levels in southern Iberia with milder air drifting up as far as the southerly UK. Low pressure close to […]
